charging FORD C MAX HYBRID 2014 2.G Owner's Manual

High voltage battery power represents your high-voltage battery. A circle
illuminates around the node when the high-voltage battery is receiving power
from regenerative braking, engine charging or external charging (when you plug
it in). The higher the power going into the high-voltage battery, the larger the
circle around this node.
G
Fuel
represents the fuel tank in the vehicle.
H
Fuel-to-engine flow
shows flow from the fuel tank to the engine when the
engine is on and using fuel (there are some cases where the engine is on, but
not using any fuel). When the engine is on, but not using fuel, the engine node
is active, but the fuel flow path is off. An example of this is when your foot is
off the accelerator pedal and the vehicle is traveling at a high speed.
I
Engine On due to
provides you with the reason(s) the gasoline engine is on.
When the gasoline engine is off, this display does not appear. Engine On due
to
reasons displayed by the system are in a chart following this list.
J
Motor-to-engine flow
shows the direction of power flow between the engine
and the electric motor. The direction indicates if the engine is providing power
to the high-voltage electrical system, or if the high-voltage electrical system is
providing power to control or start the engine.
K
Engine power
represents the gasoline engine. It illuminates only when the
gasoline engine is on. The higher the engine power is, the larger the circle around
this node.
L
Engine-to-wheels flow
shows the direction of the power flow between the
engine and the wheels.
M
Drive power
represents the power going to the wheels. The higher the wheel
power is, the larger the circle around this node. When the engine is off, drive
power is shown in blue. When the engine is on, drive power is shown in grey.
N
1 The battery-to-motor flow includes
battery power the vehicle is using for
acceleration. It does not include energy the
vehicle is using for accessories (such as air
conditioning, headlights and radio). This
screen displays accessories and climate
usage separately. 2
Accessories
indicates electrical power
demands from your vehicle ’s accessory
systems. Accessories use power but do not
contribute to making the vehicle move. The
power flow displays power usage from the
climate control system and other
accessories separately.
3 The climate control system may
determine A/C is necessary even when you
turn it off. In this case, you may see some
climate power when the A/C is off.

Engine On due to
The engine is on to warm-up. The vehicle
returns to electric mode when the engine
is warm. This reason may reappear during
a drive or after shutting the vehicle down
for a short period. This is normal operation.
Engine Cold (Hybrid only)
The engine is on because of the heater
setting. Reduce or turn off the heater
setting to return to electric mode.
Heater Setting
The engine is on because the vehicle speed
exceeds the level for electric mode opera-
tion. Reduce the speed to return to electric
mode.
High Speed
The engine is on when you apply pressure
to the accelerator pedal or when you turn
the speed control on. Reduce pressure on
the accelerator pedal or turn off the speed
control to return to full electric mode.
Acceleration
The engine is on because the vehicle is in
neutral gear. Shift out of neutral gear to
return to electric mode.
Neutral Gear
The engine is on because the vehicle is in
low gear. Shift out of low gear to return to
electric mode.
Low Gear
The engine is on to charge the high-voltage
battery. The vehicle returns to electric mode
once the battery is charged.
Battery Charging
The engine is on to provide increased
powertrain braking when you turn on the
grade assist feature. Turn off the grade
assist feature to return to electric mode.

Engine On due to
The engine is on to maintain engine oil
quality. The vehicle returns to electric mode
when engine oil maintenance is complete.
See Engine Oil Check (page 212).
Oil Maintenance (Energi Only)
The engine is on due to high or low high-
voltage battery temperature. This is a
normal operating condition. The vehicle
returns to electric mode automatically
when possible.
Batt Temperature (Energi Only)
The engine is on to optimize vehicle opera-
tion. The vehicle returns to electric mode
when possible.
Normal Operation
Status
This indicates which mode is active within
the vehicle system.
Hybrid Drive
The electric motor and gasoline engine are
powering vehicle.
Charging HV Battery
The hybrid system is storing power in the
high-voltage battery.
Idle
The vehicle is either at rest, or sharing very
little power between the electric system
parts. Idle with Charging
The high-voltage battery is receiving power
in order to recharge.
Electric Drive
The vehicle is driving in electric mode (the
power is coming from the electric motor).
The gasoline engine is off in this mode.
Charge Complete (Energi only)
The high-voltage battery charging from
the wall is complete.

Govt Office
Public Transit Education To expand these listings, press the + in
front of the listing.
The system also allows you to sort
alphabetically, by distance or by cityseekr
listings (if available).
Range Rings and Charge Points (Energi Only) Shaded rings appear on the map when you
are driving in EV Now mode. The inner ring
with no shading indicates a safe range you
can travel using plug-in power only. The
lightly shaded outer band reflects areas
you may or may not be able to reach while
in EV Now mode. If your destination is
within this band, your vehicle may operate
in Auto EV mode, running the engine as
needed. The darker shaded area, beyond
the rings, is not likely reachable using only
the vehicle's available plug-in energy.
The rings represent approximate ranges.
Actual route distances, road grades,
vehicle speed, accessory usage and other
conditions affect how far your vehicle can
travel in EV Now mode before recharging.
You can turn off the rings in the Settings
menu. Press the Settings icon >
Navigation > Map Preferences.
You can turn the charge point POIs on and
off. Touch the map, use the buttons at the
bottom of the screen, and then select the
POI icon button. The icons only appear at
a map scale of 5 miles (8 kilometers) and
lower.

Note: cityseekr point of interest (POI)
information is limited to approximately 912
cities (881 in the United States, 20 in
Canada and 11 in Mexico).
